Application filed, August 23, 1921. Serial No. 494,739..

To all 107mm it may concern: 7 v Be it known that I, FRANK A. SAMPSON, 512, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kingston, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have'invented 'certain new and useful Improvements in a Tray or Sink Leg; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to fixtures for supporting trays, sinks and like parts whereby provision is had for adjustment withoutre quiring drilling and tapping of parts.

Other objects and advantages will be ap-- parent and suggest themselves as the nature of the invention is'understood.

While the drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions and requirements, various changes in the form, proportion and minor details.

of construction may be resorted'to without departing from the nature of the invention. Referring to the accompanying drawing forming a part of the specification,

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a support illustrative of the invention; a tray or like part being indicated by the dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a sectional detail on a largerscale, parts being broken away, and

Figure 3 is a top plan View.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawing by like reference characters.

The support comprises a leg 1 and a horizontal strut 2, these parts preferably consist of lengths of pipe which are threaded at opposite ends. A floor plate 3 is applied to the leg 1 and constitutes a foot therefor.

A head or rest 4 is located at the juncture of the leg 1 and strut 2 and is apertured to receive such parts. The'head orrest 1 consists 'of ahollow casting which is constricted at its lower end and expanded at its upper end to receive the part tobe sup ported such as a tray, sink or the like, a lip 5 extends vertically fromthe' front wall of the head or rest 4: to engage the front of the tray, sink or like part and prevent forward displacement thereof. The upper threaded end of the leg 1 enters thelower end of the head or rest 1 and receives a nut 7 which engages the lower end of the part d'whereby means of ribs 9 projecting inwardly from the side walls of the head 1. In this manner the nut 8 is held against the rear wall of the part 1 and receives the forward threaded end of the strut 2. I

A plate 10 secured to the wall 11 is formed with a forwardly extending socket 12 and a lug 13. The nut 14: is seated in the socket l2 and receives the rear threaded end of the strut 2. The tray or part 6 rests upon the lug 13. The socket 12 is closed by the wall 11 when the plate 10 is in position, thereby preventing displacement of the nut It will be understood from the foregoing that the upper" forward portion of the support is adjustable both vertically and horizontally' The vertical adjustment is pri- 'marily effected by means of the nut 7 which rendering adjustment desirable and advantageous.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is I 1. A support of the class described comprising a leg,a head from which said leg depends, said head being upwardly enlarged and hollow, the upper edge of said head constituting an article supporting surface, a lip on said head extending above said surface forengagement with the article, a nut completely within the head, means integral with. the head to hold said nut against rota tion, a strut disposed atsubstantially a right angle to the leg passing into the head and threaded to the nut, said nut also serving to space said strut below the said article-supporting surface to facilitate adjustment of the strut, and means adjustably supporting the strut at a distance from said head. I a

2. A support of theclass described com prising a leg, a head into Whiclitlieupper end of said leg extends a nut threaded on said leg and constituting a support for the lower edge of said head, said head being :upwardly enlarged and hollow, the. upper",

edge of said headconstituting an article supporting surface, saidhead having" a lip il'rtegral therewith extendingabove said SLIP-.-

face for engagement with the 'a1'ticle,'.ribs integral With the head and extending into the hollow thereof; a nut completely Within the head held against rotation by said ribs, a strut disposed at substantially a right angle to the leg passing into the head and threaded to theasec'ond mentioned nut said second mentioned nut also serving tospace said strut Below the said articlesupporting surface to facilitate adjustment of the strait,
